We are a firm at the forefront - and are consistently ranked as one of Sweden's top law firms.
Cederquist was founded in 1953 when Bengt Cederquist, who was in-house counsel at one of Sweden's largest media groups, decided to start his own law practice. We have come a long way since then. Today, Cederquist is a value-driven firm organised as a true partnership with over 160 employees working together as one team. We benefit from each other's expertise and strive towards the same goal: to stay at the forefront and lead the market within our fields of expertise.
Our long experience in the industry has made Cederquist a well-respected firm in the Swedish market, as well as internationally. We have been lead advisors and coordinated transactions in most European countries, and our lawyers handle cross-border matters on a daily basis.
In the international arena, we have chosen to stay independent. By maintaining our independence, we can always guarantee high-quality cooperation partners and offer our clients the best possible help with the right expertise for the specific assignment. We have great relationships and well-developed cooperation with many of the leading law firms worldwide, particularly in the Nordic region, the EU, the UK, and the US.
